Summary
Alabama’s state laws secretly mandate racial quotas on official boards—requiring minority appointees on bodies like the High School of Mathematics and Science and Occupational Therapy Examiners—while simultaneously banning “divisive concepts” that promote racial classification. This legal contradiction, rooted in outdated practices, violates Supreme Court precedent requiring strict justification for racial preferences without proof of past discrimination. Qualified Alabamans now have legal standing to challenge these hidden racial barriers, reminding us that equality under the law shouldn’t be buried in the fine print.
